Pink Floyd - Obscured By Clouds (Song)
Obscured By Clouds is the title track of a record released by Pink Floyd. I should first mention that this song is an instrumental from start to finish so if you aren’t one for instrumentals, particularly slower paced ones, then this wouldn’t be a track that you would really …
Megadeth - Anarchy In The U.K. (Music Video)
Overview —“ Anarchy In The U.K. is a cover of The Sex Pistols classic song and put on Megadeth’s third record, So Far, So Good—¦ So What. I’m personally a pretty big fan of The Sex Pistols despite the fact that they only put out one album of music …

Jefferson Airplane - When The Earth Moves Again (Song)
When The Earth Moves Again is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their album Bark. The track opens up with a mix of violin, piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, and drums so as you can imagine, right from the start of this track the song has …
The Blitz, by Neuropa
Unfortunately the excellent Neuropa album “The Blitz”, with its (admittedly fairly obvious) World War 2 type plane design on the front, is not easily obtainable in physical form in the United Kingdom, although it is offered by Amazon in individual track form as MP3 downloads. This is rather a …
Labi Siffre - Something Inside So Strong - Single
Sometimes in life we have conflict with those we never dreamed that we would. They are not nice times but we strive to get through them and after a turbulent 12 months I listened to this song and it made so much sense to me.
With the performer being male …
Calling you by Blue October
Calling you by Blue October is a song that is sad in some ways if you think about it because it talks about how a guy misses a girl so much that he keeps calling her. I like the song because it reminds me of how I am with …
Jefferson Airplane - Rejoyce (Song)
Rejoyce is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their record After Bathing At Baxter’s. Just as a note, the title of this track is spelled as “rejoyce” rather than “rejoice” to pay homage to writer James Joyce, the author of Ulysses. The song starts off with a …
Borns - Past Lives (Song)
BORNS is one of the up and coming musicians this year that really got me interested. From the first time I heard him in his wonderfully-crafted “10,000 Emerald Pools”, I knew that I will be captivated in his following efforts. And he never failed, far from it.
Past Lives …

“Stiff-upper lip” AC/DC music album
Perhaps the most common opinion, which circulates around the world about the AC / DC, says that the band has not changed since at least the death of the first singer Bon Scott. Considering that this death occurred twenty years ago, and that since that time the team …
All American Rejects in Concert
I just recently went to an All American Rejects concert and I have to say, it was a ton of fun. I’m a guy in my early twenties, and despite the fact that most other people at the concert were screaming high school girls, I had a ton …
The Who - Armenia City In The Sky (Song)
Armenia City in The Sky is a song by the Who and is the opening song to their album The Who Sell Out. The track opens up with a robotic voice reading the days of the week before transitioning into the bulk of the song which one can tell …
City Of Evil- Avenged Sevenfold CD
I love this album by Avenged Sevenfold, it is one of my favorites next to “Live in LBC and Diamonds in the Rough” because it has some amazing solos and the songs are really fun to play on guitar. Shadows’ vocals are pretty good in this album, but they …

Paper Planes
Paper Planes by M.I.A. is a song that I like a lot. Paper Planes is a song you can not pass up and the song is just fantastic. The words make very little sense to a lot of people but not to me. The song talks about how this …
Radiology - Lovedrug
During the late nineties, there was a bit of a revival of the more melodic progressive rock that had been popular in the mid to late eighties. While the eighties saw a very stripped down kind of sound, with a heavy emphasis on melodic guitar lines and keyboard sounds, …
Ashanti
I started listening to Ashanti during the early 2003 period, I think. And I thought that she has a pretty good voice. During that time, the existence of Rihanna in the music industry wasn’t born yet and Ashanti was one of the young talents out there, besides the …
Dimmu Borgir (band)
I am one of those people who used to think that there was nothing better than death metal in its purest form. However, when a friend of mine recommended the Symphonic Black Metal band Dimmu Borgir to me some years ago, I began to reconsider that notion because as …
Metallica - Suicide And Redemption (Song)
Suicide And Redemption, Metallica’s fourth instrumental of their career and penultimate track on Death Magnetic, is similar to The Unforgiven III in the sense that it has some truly brilliant parts but also some parts which just aren’t so good. I’ll start with my complaints against the track. My …
The Velvet Underground and Nico
I’m a great believer that it’s the little things in life that make us who we are. Little signposts that send us off in different directions. This is the album that played a big part in changing my life.
I’m 16, just bought this strange album with a …
Pink Floyd - The Scarecrow (Song)
The Scarecrow is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their debut record, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. The Scarecrow starts off with sort of an interesting percussive rhythm in the left channel of the track which goes on for a while as an organ part …
Megadeth - Out On The Tiles (Song)
Out On The Tiles is a cover performed by Megadeth which appears as a bonus track for their record United Abominations. The cover is a song initially done by Led Zeppelin so it’ll be interesting to see how Megadeth interpret the song. The track starts off with that familiar …
System Of A Down - Forest (Song)
Forest is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their second studio effort, Toxicity. The track opens up with a somewhat chaotic sounding section before Malakian comes in with an extremely heavy riff on guitar. The verse sort of follows a pattern of having this extremely …
Animal Collective - Seal Eyeing (Song)
Seal Eyeing is a song by Animal Collective and the final track on their EP Water Curses. Easily the most relaxing track on this record and one of Animal Collective’s most calming songs in general, Seal Eyeing places a pretty well balanced amount of focus on the music and …

Death Symbolic CD
See now this is Death Metal done right! The drumming is MAD technical, experimental, Jazzy and progressive while still keeping touches of traditional Death Metal(which satisfies those easy to please Death Metal purists). Truly amazing drumming that any drummer would appreciate! There is enough obscure and original drumming on …
Animal Collective - Lion In A Coma (Song)
Lion In A Coma is a song by Animal Collective and the ninth song to appear on their 2009 record Merriweather Post Pavilion. Immediately opening up with a bouncy rhythm, Lion In A Coma has an undeniable lighthearted sound to it right from the start. The vocal performance …
The Grateful Dead - Operator (Song)
Operator is a song by the Grateful Dead which appears on their album American Beauty. Opening up with a light guitar rhythm and a background rhythm, the song immediately has a fairly country-like feel to it and this is only reinforced once the vocals come in. I should mention …
The Underdog Project - Summer Jam
This song from Underdog Project is not a new song, but I always miss this song to listen again and again. Though this song is becoming hits in 2001, until now, I feel that this music in this song is always fresh.
This song is can be a party song …
Cream - Goodbye
Overview - Goodbye, Cream’s final record, is an album split into three previously heard live tracks and three brand new tracks recorded in the studio. Both of these categories has something to offer that the other doesn’t and this concept is actually a pretty interesting one. If I were …
The Beatles - Love You To (Song)
Love You To, a track to appear on Revolver by The Beatles, is one of the tracks not written by John Lennon or Paul McCartney and written by lead guitarist George Harrison. For those who somewhat follow The Beatles then you’ll know that the group went to India for …
Doll Domination by Pussycat Dolls
Is it me, or is Pussycat Dolls sounding more mellow by the day..? I can’t help to say that, and it is quite evident when I listened to the tracks in Doll Domination by Pussycat Dolls. They are sounding normal by the day and the tunes are not …
Avril Lavigne Goodbye Lullaby music album
This is Avril Lavigne’s senior effort album and I think it shows. It’s got a more mature sound with less poppy music —“ OK maybe not so true about the pop part. But it brings me back to her earlier solid efforts with quality music. Also, …
Adele - Make You Feel My Love (Song )
I first heard of the legendary Adele back in 2010, when the world never cared for her the way it does now. The song that I first heard? A cover of Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love”.
It’s not even a normal cover, it’s one of those gorgeous …
Star Trek - The Best Of Both Worlds by Ron Jones
Star Trek - The Next Generation: Music From The Original Television Soundtrack - The Best Of Both Worlds by Ron Jones is one of my favorite audio CDs to listen to because the music from both of these episodes is incredibly memorable and some of the best Star Trek …
Korn
Korn’s self titled debut was released on Immortal/Epic in may of 1994 and recorded in Malibu California. This album is extremely dark and aggressive, the first song Blind, is about Jonathan Davis’s drug problems and how he felt blind a really aggressive song. Ball Tongue is less interesting but …
Doin’ My Thing by Luke Bryan (CD)
I just purchased the Luke Bryan CD, “Doin’ My Thing”. This CD came out in October. I have fallen in love with this man’s voice. Let me tell you! There are some great tracks on this CD.
The song that had me desiring this CD in the first …
Khago (Reggae Artiste)
I do not like listenning to a lot of modern day reggae music, and so since I generally do no follow this genre, I have no idea how long the reggae artiste “Khago” has been around. In fact, I only became aware of him recently when his song “Nah …
Album : Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
I don’t think anybody could disagree with the fact that Iron maiden are one of the most important heavy metal bands in the history of music. If you aren’t sure why this album, Somewhere In Time is as good a place as any to start your listening journey.
Sure, …
Nine Inch Nails - The Greater Good (Song)
The Greater Good is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album Year Zero. The song opens up with an eerie synthesizer part along with an electronic drum rhythm which gives the song that very dark industrial atmosphere characteristic to Nine Inch Nails. Thus far everything …
Falling Down (song) by Avril Lavigne
The meaning of this song is very deep. It takes me a thousand times before I could be able to get the meaning. I am not sure if Avril is the song writer of this song, but if she is, then she deserves to be applauded for writing this …
Album : Cold War Kids - Mine Is Yours (2011)
I am amazed at just how low the general rating for this album has been so far across the internet. I think it may have something to do with the hipsters being disappointed that another one their underground indie bands are making a push for commercial success. I don’t …
“What We Saw from the Cheap Seats,” 2012 Album by Regina Spektor
Before purchasing “What We Saw from the Cheap Seats,” my exposure to Regina Spektor had mostly been listening to her songs on YouTube and, later, purchasing them on iTunes. As someone who had only listened to her light and happy songs, I was pleasantly surprised when I put the …
Selena Gomez & Marshmello - Wolves (2017 Song)
“Wolves is a journey about finding love,” while that description feels cliche for all the countless songs that shares the same theme, Wolves does indeed sound like a journey. This is Selena Gomez’ second EDM (electronic dance music) after her successful collaboration with Kygo for “It Ain’t Me” earlier …
Metallica - Phantom Lord (Song)
Overview —“ Phantom Lord, the seventh track from Metallica’s debut record Kill —˜Em All, is what I believe is one of the tracks on Kill —˜Em All which really make it clear that Metallica had significant punk influence. Along with Motorbreath, although Phantom Lord is just such a better …
Aly & AJ: Chemicals React (song)
Chemicals react is one of my favorite songs of all time. This is done by my favorite sister duo, Aly & AJ. This song is about having a chemical reaction with someone. This is considered a love song, and it’s a darn good one at that; if you like …
Cream - Fresh Cream
Overview - Fresh Cream, Cream’s debut album, is an album mixed with psychedelic rock and also blues rock, with a lot of great musicianship in between. All the members of Cream really impressed me on this album: Jack Bruce had some excellent basslines that really left me wanting to …
